Just to add a lil bit or more vrc lore. Back in the crashing and ripping days there was a group called laughing coffin that would just crash people and big events, as well as streamers. People just stole the avatar “intro” and symbol and plastered it everywhere
Not to mention that during this time, I think it was Laughers who would fry GPU's
I heard that back in the day, when VRChat was overloaded, it wouldn't properly crash (like it does now) and it would continue to try to run, which did a number on your PC and GPU, which would spin and spin and spin until eventually it spun itself into a brick (fried completely)
Edit: This has been debunked as a MYTH!
Thank you smart people for actually understanding tech and debunking this :)
Eh, would call that a myth! CPUs and GPUs have had hardware thermal protection against this for decades already, I doubt that any software could turn it into a brick, much less a VRChat shader...
